In Italy, everyone’s jamming to Sanremo. And it’s not just our thing—it’s a global groove. The Italian song festival is gaining increasing international recognition, and Måneskin’s victory in 2021 has played a significant role in it. A few months later, they also won the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam, representing Italian music. Even Mick Jagger, the legendary frontman of the Rolling Stones, acknowledged their success in an interview with Corriere della Sera, stating: “They are the band of today’s twenty-year-olds, and we would all expect there to be an English or American group in that place.”

The Sanremo festival isn’t just about Italian music; it also serves as a platform for showcasing high fashion. The most relevant brands unveil the season’s looks on stage, featuring avant-garde outfits and potentially marking a return to advanced formalwear and tailoring, which we’re all eagerly anticipating. The singers’ stylists are already working hard to create never-before-seen outfits that will be donned by the most sought-after celebrities for the first time on stage.
